One of the Most Idiotic Statements Ever

Janeane Garofalo made one of the most idiotic statements ever when she commented on the recent Tea Parties being held to protest growing government spending and bailouts -

This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks.


When Obama was elected as President, I knew it would come to a point that when a person or group of persons disagreed with his policies some fool would come out and say it was because they were racist. The fact is, such a comment is simple minded and a cop out. When you have nothing intelligent to say, it is better to shut up than spew stupidity.

This is not about racism, this is about disagreement with Obama policies pure and simple. Calling those protesting such policies rednecks is more racist than what any of the tea party protestors are doing.

And you know, you can tell these type of right wingers anything and they'll believe it, except the truth. You tell them the truth and they become -- it's like showing Frankenstein's monster fire.


She's got it all backwards. Who has to resort to petty name calling because she has nothing intelligent to say? Who is not willing to accept the truth here? Keith Olbermann can't, that's for sure -

Our number two story tonight, the sad reality behind the corporate sponsored Tea Parties, visual proof that this is not about spending, deficits, or taxes, but about some Americans getting riled up by the people who caused these things, and finally about some Americans who just hate the president of the United States.


While I did not participate in a Tea Party, those I know who did and who helped organize some were not corporate representatives. A large part of the blame for what we are going through now is because of the Democrats but they nor the media will ever admit that. They encouraged the lending to people who should never have received a mortgage loan. That is where the dominoes began to fall.

Hate is a strong word. I definitely feel the hate from those such as Olbermann and Garofalo who have no problem calling conservatives names and misrepresenting them. If they were on the receiving end of their own vitriol, there would be grand protests about the hate from themselves, the media and other liberals. It is hypocrisy at its grandest.
